1 Initial Corpus generation & inspection

1.1 Corpus Creation

1.1.1 General steps

  1. Scopus download of documents retrieved from search string from Markard et al. (2012), resulting in ca 2.800 documents. Limited to LANGUAGE=ENGLISH and TYPE=ARTICLE OR CONFERENCE PAPER OR BOOK OR BOOKCHAPTER OR EDITORIAL.
  2. Selecting “seed” publications. 1% most cited total + 1% most cited per year + top3 cited papers from each 2015-2017. Ex-post manual insertion and exclusion (authority based)
  3. Retrieving for each seed 500 publications with most shared references. Again limited to LANGUAGE=ENGLISH and TYPE=ARTICLE OR CONFERENCE PAPER OR BOOK OR BOOKCHAPTER OR EDITORIAL.
  4. Adittional ex. post filtering based on citations recieved and connectivity in bibliographic coupling network (see below)

1.1.2 Final corpus Size

## Number of unique publications in the final corpus:  6184

Generally, 33 x 500 = 16.500 documents downloaded. However, due to an overlap of publications with most shared references to seed papers, final corpus is smaller. Further, number of adittional references per seed added decline. Yet, increase in non-overlapping references indicates the corpus is not saturated yet.

2 Topic modelling

I by now created some topic modelling. The results are somewhat preliminary, but already worth taking a look at. We ran a LDA on the titles + abstracts of our corpus, aiming at identifying 10 topics (some different numbers of topics to generate shows that 10 result in good results, more topics lead to too much overlap between them)

2.1 Topics by topwords

2.2 LDAViz

HEre you find a nice way of exploring topics via the LDAVIz tool. It dispolays all topics in a 2 dimensional PCA, and also gives a nice visual representation over the topics top-word distribution and overall frequencies of this words in the corpus. The \(\lambda\) parameter regulates the importance-ordering of the topwords. High \(\lambda\) order words by the highest propability to appear in the topic to the lowest (independent of the overall word popularity in the corpus), whle low \(\lambda\) emphasize words which are very specific to the topic, and rarely appear in others.

Play a bit around. It’s a bit condensed here in the small view, but you can also load it HERE in fullscreen for a better overview.

2.3 Topics over time

3 Knowledge Bases: Co-Citation network analysis

Note: This analysis refers the co-citation analysis, where the cited references and not the original publications are the unit of analysis. Here, the strength of the relationship between a reference pair \(m\) and \(n\) (\(s_{m,n}^{coc}\)) is expressed by the number of publications \(C\) which are jointly citing reference \(m\) and \(n\).

\[s_{m,n}^{coc} = \sum_i c_{i,m} c_{i,n}\]

The intuition here is that references which are frequently cited together are likely to share commonalities in theory, topic, methodology, or context. It can be interpreted as a measure of similarity as evaluated by other researchers that decide to jointly cite both references. Because the publication process is time-consuming, co-citation is a backward-looking measure, which is appropriate to map the relationship between core literature of a field.

3.1 Identified knowledge Bases

In order to partition networks into components or clusters, we deploy a community detection technique based on the Lovain Algorithm (Blondel et al., 2008). The Lovain Algorithm is a heuristic method that attempts to optimize the modularity of communities within a network by maximizing within- and minimizing between-community connectivity.

We identify the following communities = knowledge bases

It is not the main focus of this exercise, but still informative to see which historical knowledge the fields draws from.

We identify 4 communities of avrying size (note: I just gave it some ad-hoc names to work with for now. Should be revised). We on first glance see that all share a somewhat similar internal density (meaning the references in the corresponding community are stronger connected with each others), except of community 3, which is more densely connected.

3.2 Most central references, authors, journals per knowledge base

Lets do a first attempt to categorize them:

3.3 Development over time

We see number of citations towards the STS knowledge base to sharply increase post-2000. Interestingly, citations to the evolutionary economics and industry-dynamics related knowledge base to completely vanish.

4 Research Areas: Bibliographic coupling analysis

This is arguably the most interesting part. Here, we identify the literature’s current knowledge frontier by carrying out a bibliographic coupling analysis of the publications in our corpus. This measure uses bibliographical information of publications to establish a similarity relationship between them. This **coupling-strength} between publications is determined by the number of commonly cited references they share, assuming a common pool of references to indicate similarity in context, methods, or theory. Formally, the strength of the relationship between a publication pair \(i\) and \(j\) (\(s_{i,j}^{bib}\)) is expressed by the number of commonly cited references.

\[ s_{i,j}^{bib} = \sum_m c_{i,m} c_{j,m} \]

Since our corpus contains publications which differ strongly in terms of the number of cited references, we normalize the coupling strength by the Jaccard similarity coefficient. Here, we weight the intercept of two publications’ bibliography (shared refeences) by their union (number of all references cited by either \(i\) or \(j\)). It is bounded between zero and one, where one indicates the two publications to have an identical bibliography, and zero that they do not share any cited reference. Thereby, we prevent publications from having high coupling strength due to a large bibliography (e.g., literature surveys).

\[ S_{i,j}^{jac-bib} =\frac{C(i \cap j)}{C(i \cup j)} = \frac{s_{i,j}^{bib}}{c_i + c_j - s_{i,j}^{bib}} \]

More recent articles have a higher pool of possible references to co-cite to, hence they are more likely to be coupled. Consequently, bibliographic coupling represents a forward looking measure, and the method of choice to identify the current knowledge frontier at the point of analysis.

4.1 Identified research areas

To identify communities in the field’s knowledge frontier (labeled research areas) we again use the Lovain Algorithm (Blondel et al., 2008). We identify the following communities = research areas

We on first glance see that RA 1&2 are substantially larger than the rest.

4.2 Characterizing the research areas

Now its time to describe them. In the following, I provide some statistics statistics per community which I find helpful to do so:

Ok, my very condensed interpretation:

  • com1: IS, National & sectoral, evolutionary economics, industrial dynamics
  • com2: The core of sustainability transitions. Results very similar to the corresponding community in Rakas & Hain (2018)
  • com3: Climate change adaption, resilience, governance (not an expert in this literature)
  • com4: Sustainable consumption, more behavorial, sociology
  • com5: Real enviromental science
  • com6: Product-Service systems (interesting concept, honestly never heard of till now)

One small sidenote: There is no real economics community to be found.

4.2.2 Most central publications per research area

Brief reminder: Centrality in a bibliographic coupling network == representativeness != importance

Therefore, the central articles should be appropriate to characterize the kind of work done in the community, but are not necessarily the most important or influencial ones.

4.3 Publications over time

4.4 Connectivity between the research areas

Ok, just to get a first glance, should not be overinterpreted. We see sustainability transition to be the most central community (not surprising, keeping in mind how the corpus is generated). More interestingly, it appears to be strongly connected to IS, climate change adaption and sustainable consumption literature, less so to enviromental science and PSS.

4.5 Zooming in the systainability transitions community

In the first scan it can clearly be seen, that the core of the sustainability transitions community resides in com2. So, lets zoom in a bit there and look at its internal structure. So, I did a second round of community detection inside com2 to identify the sub-communities within sustainability transitions. Lets see what we find…

We here find 4 sub-communities of rather equal size. Lets characterize them…

I know to little about the internal dynamics in the field, but hope that makes somewhat sense…

4.5.3 Internal network

4.5.3.1 Overall

Finally, we can take a look at the most central publications (tob 50) in the community via a network plot.

4.5.3.2 Per sub-community

To go a bit more in detal, I also provide the network of the top-100 most central publications per community. I here tried out an interactive visualization. You can zoom in and out, and the names of the papers are revealed when you click them. Should be a bit less overwhelming that way, and should encourage own exploration. Lets see if you like it.
